The last post I made, me and my team were developing the song "What's this" and making it fit into our play of "The Cat, Cock, and the Young Mouse" Over time we have developed a way to incorporate the song into our play, and were able to also perform that as well. Here is the script to the play that I made with my team members. We all collaborated in making it and performing it, and my part in it was as the main character, a young mouse.Here is the document version, if you are unable to read it here.

RachelThere once lived a young mouse and her mother who had just moved away from their quiet life in a field to a new life that was more like the busy life of a farm. Once the young mouse finished helping her mom unpacking, she wanted to go explore. Reading with a book in her hands to the side

Paloma Hey mom? Is it alright if I go exploring? I finished unpacking and I am so excited to see what is out there!Really excited, as though you want nothing else.

Nicole Oh, Uh, well Dear, I haven't had time to u-unpack all of my things yet. And I haven't had time to-to scout the area t-to make sure its, its safe. B-But if you promise to, promise to be careful, and safe, I might let you go

Paloma Of course I will be careful mom! When have I ever gotten into trouble? Rolls her eyes

Nicole I-I know. I trust you. Just-just be careful. Ya-You remember what I have told you about the dangers out there? Oh, well let me remind you anyway. Make sure you stay away from lawn mowers, because they will chop you to pieces and-and there's blood everywhere and and broken bones. Beware of that. Then, uh, make sure you stay away from sprinklers, because those shoot water everywhere and you get wet-wet and freeze and die. Beware of Barbeques, because they shoot fire and burn you alive. Let your father rest in peace. ____________ But most of all, you have to remember to beware of cats! They will eat you alive and play with your corpse.

PalomaI know I know. Cats. the scary creatures that kill mice. Big deal. I have never even seen a cat. I doubt that that will ever change. Anyways; I gotta go mom. ByeStill having an attitude

RachelThe young mouse left her home to explore the small farm where she now lives. Paloma starts walking around

Nicole Be safe! Tell me what you find! BEWARE OF CATS!!!! Waves her off, then looks concerned

Paloma What's this? What’s this?There’s bushes everywhereWhat's this?There’s sunlight in the air Whats thisI can’t believe my eyes I must be dreamingWake up girl this isn’t fairWhat’s this?Paloma starts singing her song

Leslie COCKA-DOODLE-DOO Interrupts

Paloma Ahh!!!What’s this? What’s this? There’s something very wrongWhat’s this?You make a different song.What’s this?Your legs are lined with Hairy scary ugly scalesYou must be off the rails You don’t even have a tail!What is this! What is this! You have a peculiar callThat scares me to the boneYou make me want to run and crawlAnd hide inside my homeI must be going nowYour look scared me away I can’t think of a reason howI could actually stay; BYEE

LeslieWait, I am not a monster! Don’t run away! Come back!

RachelThe frightened mouse ran until she came across another strange animal singing to herself.

LiliaWell hello little friend, it’s so kind of you to wander over into my claws, I mean awe...I am in awe to see you. Where did you come from? I didn’t know there were any more little mice running around MY farm

PalomaOh, this is YOUR farm? You are so much nicer than that scary monster over there.

LiliaWhy don’t you come over here, don’t you have any time to spare?

RachelThe little mouse liked this furry creature. Her silk fur looked soft and friendly, and her smile was welcoming. The flick of her tail seemed to invite the young mouse over. Paloma and Lilia fake talk to each other

PalomaOh, I would love to join you, you are by far the coolest person I’ve ran into all day….

LeslieCACADOODLEDOOOOOOInterrupts again. Paloma runs away

LeslieHey you! Stop eating all the mice in this farm. You always torment them.

LiliaMe, eat a mouse, that’s ridonkulous! We were just having a snack... I mean ...chat.defensively

LeslieReally? You were having a "chat" because from my perspective it looks like you wanted to EAT her. You know what just leave, go away and never come back.Points off stage

LiliaNever come back? Oh honey, this is MY farm. I mean I’ll go but only because I’m done here. You can’t tell me what to do Bite at leslie

Rachel The cat went away for the day, as the young mouse ran home as fast as she could. She ran straight into her mother’s arms and began frantically telling her mom what happened.

`PalomaMom! You’ll never guess what happened!

Nicole What!? W-what happened?

PalomaI was out exploring some farm and I saw a scary monster with feathers and scales with a pointy beak that made a terrifying roar. But luckily I was rescued by this beautiful fluffy creature with a long tail and paws and whiskers and a beautiful toothy smile! But I ran home because I was scared of that roar the monster made just like you told me to do!Speaking really fast

NicoleOh honey. Calm down. It’s alright. I am glad you made it out alive. It sounds scary, but maybe for different reasons. You talked about a scary creature with scales and feathers? And a furry creature with a tale? Says calmly

PalomaYEAH totally, there was that huge scary thingAnd a nice fluffy one with a tail who wanted to be my friend

NicoleMy dear, may I tell you what I think really happened? The scary monster you speak of was a rooster. And the smiling furry one was the vicious cat. Do you remember what I told you about cats??? The rooster you speak of was so kind that it saved your life. And your friendly cat was tricking you into coming closer so she could have a mealMomma mouse comforts the little mouse and they both walk center stage.
